“It’s very sad to hear that we lost him,” Drake said of Nate’s death. “He contributed some phenomenal music to the world and I think it’s just important to remember what he has done.”

“I actually Tweeted about it as soon as I heard. One of my favorite lyrics of his was on ’21 Questions.’ It’s when he said, ‘It’s easy to love me now.’ I’m kind of at that point in my life where I am 24 years old and everything has changed,” he explained. “It’s easy to love me now for a lot of people that did not love me before.”
